Tony Squeo hi Tony, yes my experience with storing cars has always been a bad one. After 2 to 3 years the cars would give me all kinds of problems. Plus what’s the point if I don’t drive it for months at a time? That would really really suck. Thanks for stopping by Tony, I appreciate it.
Glad to hear you enjoying your car in the snow, slush and salt. I've done it and it's alot of fun. Some of us store to preserve the car. Never winter driven cars will always be nicer than a winter driven car. Especially underneath.
I agree with you. Usually a car that's only driven half a year will always look better. But its riskier for all the mechanical parts. I would rather enjoy it till I don't want it anymore. I don't like keeping cars for more than 5 years anyway. And from experience, I used to store my sports car and hated waiting to drive it a again + had always mechanical problems. I remember those experiences being a real pain. Thank you so much for stopping by and your comment. I appreciate it.
Great video. I just got rid of my beater and now my Mustang will be my daily driver. I never considered rust proofing but now you have me thinking about that. Sounds like a great idea to combat the road salts. For those that don't want to get ceramic coating, which is great to have, you can also get the same protection using a quality sealant and would also cost a lot less. Ceramic coatings aren't expensive to purchase but to apply them, it requires more skill than a sealant, so it would probably have to be professionally applied which can get pricey. Anybody can apply a sealant. They aren't as durable as a ceramic coating, so let's say a coating might need to be applied once a year, while a sealant probably would need around three applications per year. A full paint polish is recommended before applying the coating. Those floor mats you have are nice.
Can u make a video of how the convertible is like all year around especially in heavy winter and snow? And what kind of pros and cons? Cause I'm debating between hardtop and convertible. Pls do
Thanks for your video! It’s really helpful! Do you recommend driving a Ford Mustang 2022 Ecoboost in the winters of Toronto? Or is it not safe ? Please I would really appreciate your advice as I am looking to buy one.
Yes it’s safe I’m driving my 5.0 in the Toronto winter Make sure you put winter tires on it and you’re good to go Rust proof it every year I use Krown Take care
Dino your car looks sick in the snow. I love the colour white with the black pp rims and racing stripes.Ive got the 2017 mustang gt with pp in black and your making me rethink my decision. lol Awesome video and good tips for winter proofing the mustang. Im one of those guys who store in in the winter because I'm sure id trash mine in the winter. lol Keep up the great videos. Cheers
No matter what he does i dont care if he he puts the car in a anti rust oil bath eventually after so many years it will rust it will never be the same as storing it but he is doing a great job at taking care of it
Good on you for driving yours, convertible to boot. Krown is good stuff, 100% you need that for any car in GTA! But you missed the whole point of driving the mustang in the winter....parking lot doughnuts! But its best to stay out of the other mustang fails videos that so many end up in :) Solid video.
For sure, the driving style needs to change in bad weather. some people don't get it. the convertible does surprisingly well in cold weather. the car stays warm inside; they did a real good job on the roof it seals really well. thank you trommatized for your time and your kind comment, I appreciate it.
Hey, actually I bought it on Amazon and applied it myself. The car was new and didn't require much prep. Its easy to apply the hard part is the prep. But if your GT is new your good to go. All the best
@@gta-gt7117 true, thanks for letting me know. Mine's a 2015 so not new. Do you think wax would suffice or should I take it somewhere for a coating? I've also been using krown for years, they're great.
@@TREKjamesa You should get ceramic coated for sure, I wouldn't trust waxing alone. Yes you should bring it in somewhere where they know what they are doing. It should cost about $500 for a professional job but worth every penny. Shammy's is a great place for that they are in Pickering. All the best, hopefully I'll see you around
@@anmolsingh573 I think if anyone has to ask if it's safe to drive shouldn't. All cars are fine in the snow with proper tires and a good driver. Just have to be careful
Excellent video, I really enjoyed your insight on driving in winter. As Canadian's we really can't get away from winter driving if you own a car. But that being said, I would not drive my mustang in the winter period. Especially when it's a mustang you would like to keep for as long as you can. Even if it has issues due to being stored, what car doesn't ever have issues stored or driven. At some point we have to dip into our wallet to fix and maintain our rides. Sadly, driving in winter can cause a lot more issue in my opinion than storing the mustang, as long as you have prepped your storage correctly. Either way, we all love our mustangs and do what you want and the hell with what anyone says. I have a 2017 Mustang GT with the performance package.......... and she's having a long winters nap.... Cheers
thank you mikekitsune, I appreciate you stopping by. I enjoy driving it too much to not drive it for 4-6 months. I also own a BMW X4, if the snow storm is really bad then I'll take that. I'm not collecting this car I'm just enjoying it for 3 to 5 years tops and then I would like to upgrade to a new one. I generally don't keep any vehicles for more then 5 years. I believe in enjoying it and getting the most out it, I am making payments after all. Again thank you so much for watching and for the great comment! Take care.
@@gta-gt7117 Thats awesome brother. Great video btw. I live in Maple (Vaughan) and today would totally not be a day to drive the mustang, but you BMW might enjoy the nasty snow today in the GTA. Cheers
@@mikekitsune123 it's all about cleaning the driveway today; aren't we so lucky. The BMW did its think but the stang is going out today as soon as I get the front of the driveway clean only a 2 feet high of wet snow; fun!!!! Take care brother
No way I love my stang to much to put in through salt dirt snow even I higher chance of getting hit by some idiot sliding into me in the snow lol NO WAY ILL DRIVE MY HONDA
You’re absolutely right. Making a car sit is the worst thing you can do to it.

Sure, totally safe. I drive my GT during the winter.
Winter tires are a must.
The car does really well as long as your tires are good
@@gta-gt7117 thank you for your advice. I appreciate it! It’s really helpful for me.
Yes it’s safe
I’m driving my 5.0 in the Toronto winter
Make sure you put winter tires on it and you’re good to go
Rust proof it every year I use Krown
Take care

Thank you Mike, I really appreciate that. Black is a really cool color for a Mustang, looks really mean in black!!
Another excellent video Dino, going this weekend to get my truck rust proofed
Thank you Jason, I totally appreciate it.
In order to winterise my Mustang I put some foil over the windsreen
Nice soundtrack

Krown Ajax if I am not mistaken.
Yes I'm in Ajax
where did you get your car ceramic coated? Thanks for the vid, from a fellow GT driver in the gta
